Claire Porter / PORTABLES

"Her program was vibrant with wit, humor, and originality, all on a delightfully small scale. Refreshing. Porter's timing is flawless." - Wilma Salisbury, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Like all sophisticated humorists, Porter has a sharp eye, a good sense of timing and tolerance toward those she satirizes." - Elizabeth Lee, Ballet News
"Her accessibility puts her in the category of a political cartoonist." - Barbara Figge Fox, Garden State Home and Garden Magazine
"Pungently humorous pieces tailor-made for small theater spaces." - Valarie Sudol, The Sunday Star-Ledger, Newark, NJ
"Porter's deliciously wild humor erupts through her studies like fire. Her subsequent gestural analysis is as rigorous as any anthropological kinesic study. Her work is smart, musical and skilled." - H. B. Kronen, The Morning Union, Springfield, MA
"Humor with love - specific, perceptive, ironic." - Municher Theaterzeitung, Munich, Germany
"Droll and beautifully observed character studies." - Burt Supree, The Village Voice
"Placing her considerable education at the service of her art, she performs with the precision of a mathematician, the line of a dancer and the attention to detail of a movement analyst. In addition, she brings to her work a marvelous dry wit, a keen sense of satire and the perfect timing of a natural comedienne." - Wilma Salisbury, The Cleveland Plan Dealer
"Wonderfully quirky, buoyant and expressive. Mesmerizing." - Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post
"A master at combining words and movement." - Elizabeth Zimmer, The Village Voice
"[The] audience [was] ... delirious with pleasure." - Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
"Whatever it is, she certainly provides an evening of provocative entertainment." - Susan Roccoli, The Flint Journal
"An immensely imaginative and inventive parody, the work has a clarity of focus that is refreshing. It's also just plain funny." - Elizabeth Lee, Durnham Morning Herald
